Looking for the best way to shut a air compressor down if a hose breaks while I'm away.
I'm concerned of a run away situation and possible fire.
How can I shut the power off permanently if the unit runs too long?
The load is 15 amps @ 120 volts.
I could possibly use a Air conditioner contactor which has a 24 volt coil and can act as a relay for this purpose.
I was thinking maybe something Arduino based but not sure what would be the easiest way to accomplish this project?
Any ideas?
Thanks Wayne
